AI-suggested

Red Hat states that no effective mitigation is currently available that meets their criteria for ease of use, deployment, applicability, or stability. Default installations are not exposed to this vulnerability. Users should avoid using atypical builds that enable the select() fallback path. Monitor Red Hat advisories for any future patches or updates.

Description

A stack-based buffer overflow vulnerability exists in the D-Bus daemon on Red Hat Enterprise Linux 10 when it falls back to using the Unix select() mechanism for event monitoring. This flaw allows a local attacker to cause an out-of-bounds write on the stack by opening many concurrent connections, potentially crashing the daemon and causing a denial of service. Default installations are not exposed as they use native Linux event polling mechanisms. Exploitation requires an atypical build that enables the fallback code path and the ability to exhaust over 1024 file descriptors.
